WHAT THE DEPARTMENT Of
AGRICULTURE IS DOINI
A Point of Vital Contact.
One of the points of vital contac
between the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the State ag
ricultural colleges and experimen
stations-the chief means, perhaps
by which experiment station work
extension work, and the like ar
coordinated and kept fairly uniforn
throughout the country- is the Asso
ciation of America Agricultural Col
leges and Experiment Stations, whicl
will hold its thirty-third annual con
vention in Chicago November 12 t<
14. At the same time a number of
subsidiary and related organization,
wil hold their annual meetings. Among
them are the Country Life Confer
once, American Association of Far.
mers' Institute Workers, the Confer.
once of Farm Management Demonstr
tors, and of the State leaders of coun.
ty agents for the North and West
the Association for the Advancemeni
of Agricultural Teaching, the Society
for the Promotion of Agricultural
Science, the Society of Agronomy
and the Farm Management Associa
tion.
Some of these organizations have
been fostered by the Department of
Agriculture and the agricultural col
leges. Others are independent organ.
izations with related interests. - In
practically all of them, officials of thc
Department of Agriculture are inter
ested. A number of department men
will be in attendance, and, through the
various meetings, will feel the will
and the wishes of the people at the
same time that they pass their own
thoughts along to workers in various
lines throughout the country.
Guarding Against Fires.
These are the days when the fire
hazard is considerably increased over
what it was in the summer months.
With the coming of cool weather,
quick fires are started in the stoves
or furnace and often a flue discover
ed that needs repair. Accumulations
of inflammable rubbish In which a bad
blaze may be started should be got rid
of. Matches are used in increased
numbers in winter, and that means ad
ditional chances of accidental fires.
Kerosene is employed in greater
quantities, being used for starting
fires and for the lamps, and, there
fore, this hazard is increased. An
even graver menace lies in the im
proper handling of gasoline. It is
highly important that every precau

Five Bottles of Cardul
Made Her Well.
Kathleen, 1la.-Mrs. Dallas Prine,
of this place, says: "After the birth
of my last child...I got very much
run-down and weakened, so much
that I could hardly do anything at
all. I was so awfully nervous that
I could scarcely endure the least
noise. My condition was getting
worse all the time...
I knew I must have some relief or
I would soon be in the bed and In a
serious condition for I felt so badly
and was so nervous and weak I could
hardly live. My husband asked Dr.
about my taking Cardui. He
said, 'It's a good medicine, and good
for that trouble', so he got me 6 bot
ties...After about the second bottle I
felt greatly improved...before taking
it my limbs and hands and arms
would go to sleep. After taking it,
however, this poor circulation disap
peared. My strength came back to
me and I was soon on the road to
health. After the use of about 6 bot
tles, I could do all my house-work
and attend to my six children be- I
sides."
You can feel safe in giving Cardui
a thorough trial for your troubles. It
contains no harmful or habit-forming
drugs, but is composed of mild, vege
table, medicinal ingredients with no
bad after-effects. Thousands of women
have voluntarily written, telling of
the good Cardul has done them. It
should help you, too. Try it. I 74

This is the season also for the far
mer to look to his fire-fighting equip
ment. A pail of water is the oldest,
simplest, and cheapest of fire extin
guishers. There is no reason why
pails of water, to be used only in case
of fire, should not be installed in every
farm building. If possible they
should be painted a special color, pre
ferably. red, or labeled so as to be
conspicuous and less subject to un
2uthorized use.
The chemical extinguisher has come
into quite general use on automobiles
and elsewhere about the farm, and has
many advatnages over the water
bucket. It can be employed, for ex
ample, in subduing fires among oils,
where water is of no value. In the

Sawdust is also effective in putting

United States Department of Agri

Demand for Rabbit Skins.
In recent years several kinds 01
fur, formerly of so little value as t<
offer no inducement to the trapper
have been raised in price, and conse
queitly collecting them has beai
made profitable. Rabbit pelts, which
are extensively used by hat makers
are among these products. One east,
ern concern has announced that il
will need 10,000,000 rabbit skins dur.
ing 1919 and 1920, and it desires as
far as possible to secure them fron
American sources. This is an indica
tion of a market which should inter
est many a farmer boy. This fall an<
winter dried, cased rabbit skins will
probably bring a reasonably good re
turn. They are sold by the, pound
which will contain .seven or eighi
skins. Many farm boys can readily
acquire, in the course of the winter
large numbers of skins which will nel
them a tidy sum and, in addition, they
will have the pleasure of trapping
experience. The United States De

How Our Milk is Used.
Estimates made by the United
States Department of Agriculture
show how the 87,905,000,000 pounds
of milk produced in the United States
annually are utilized. Forty-four and
one-half per cent is used as fresh
milk for human food purposes, while
36 per cent of the gross supply is
converted into butter, and 4.5 per cent
is made into cheese; another 4.5 per
cent is transformed into canned milk,
4 per cent is used in ice-cream making
4 per cent is used in feeding calves
and hogs on the farms of origin and
2.5 per cent is lost in shrinkage and
other waste of the dairyng industry.
Prohibition has been followea1 by a
flood of soft drinks of every conceiv
able type and variety, manny of whici
are falsely labeled, the Government
contends. Literally, hundreds of nevi
beverages have been rushed to the
soda fountains' and "ade" standls ha
makers wvho have not inft ,ned thenm
selves of the provisions of the foot
and drugs act directly concerning
their ir.dustry. The Bureau of Chem
istry of the United States Departmen
of Agriculture, which enforces thi:
this act, finds that a principal source
of difficulty for numerous makers o
'soft drinks is their disregard of al
opinion issued by the bureau severa
years ago, that "such terms as ad<
punch, crush, and smash, when used 1
conjunction with the name of a fruit
can be applied correctly only to hev
erages, either still or carbonated
which contain the fruit o1- juices of th

be applied to products flavored onl:
